... on s’enfonce dans la vielle ville plus les ruelles se rétrécissent pour ne laisser suffisamment de place à deux personnes pour se croiser. Le quartier est reparti par secteur d’activité. On trouvera ainsi les horlogers, la quincaillerie, les herboristes, le coin des vêtements et j’en passe car il est possible de trouver tout ce l’on cherche.
